Virtual Walk-through of the ETCM - Nightingales Trust Geriatric Care Unit, Kolar

This is India’s first telemedicine-enabled Dementia Care facility and is located in the premises of the Ellen Thoburn Cowen Memorial (ETCM) Hospital. This 74 bed unit is set up on two floor extending into an open garden and terrace. It has been designed to suit the needs of dementia patients such as therapeutic environment, space for walking and detailed activity schedule for all the patients. The advantage that this facility enjoys is that it is located in a hospital premise and hence, all medical emergencies are handled immediately in the hospital. Further, to ensure the safety of the residents, the facility is monitored by CCTV systems. Additionally, the centre has specially trained caregivers and qualified nurses who monitor the residents and provide care and support to them. The centre is based on the Hub-and-Spokes model. Here, the clinical team constantly monitors the centre using specially designed Teledementia Management Software from Nightingales Centre for Ageing and Alzheimer’s – Kasturi Nagar, Bangalore. The core team includes a geriatric psychiatrist, psychologists and therapists.
